In this case, the person with the unresolved issue will provide the other a "Notice of Dispute." This Notice of Dispute will include a statement that outlines the cause of the grievance.

Within 20 days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, we will meet at a mutually agreed upon time and place, electronically or in person, to work, in good faith, to resolve the dispute. Additional meetings shall take place as necessary and as mutually agreed upon.

Neither one of us can begin formal proceedings until we have concluded, in good faith, that a reasonable and mutually acceptable resolution is unlikely within 60 days. Requests for injunctive and other equitable relief are exempted from this requirement.
